RE: Remington Ghost Dual Flash Camera
I bought one at Wal Mart after my I-40 was stolen. Overall I'm very pleased with it given the price. The only downside with this camera is the color of the pictures during the day. They almost have a purple tint to them. The upsidewould be the battery life, i get around 500 or more pictures with only 4 d-cell batteriescomared to my I-40 that had 6 or 8( not exactly sure ).The display panel is really user friendly.The trigger speed, in my opinion is much faster than the I-40.

I had problems with this camera the first few days, but kept working with it. It takes good pictures as you say, mostly black and white but resolution looks really good. The battery life definetly is a plus, and still going. I had over 300 plus pictures for 4 weeks and still had 85% battery life. Very user friendly, and set up was very easy I thought. I have seen alot of posts stating they hated the camera and took it back. I honestly was going too but gave it a few days and it worked fine. For the price I am seeing, $109?, I would definetly buy another.

What I was saying was that the I40 uses 2 or 4 more batteries compared to the Remmington with, in my opinion, the same amount of battery life. They're both great camera's, i just didn't want to spend the extra 100.00$ on the I40 and have it stolen agian, otherwise....

Wow.. Sorry to hear about the bad luck everyone has had with this cam.... I purchased one from Walmart thisearly Sep2008 I put it out in the field and wow! it works totally awesome.
I noticed that if you set it up as IR it's IR for DAY and NIGHT that is why your day shot colorslook off. I set it for both and found that the flash was the best. IR is not really needed if you set it for one picture only. I have found if you set it for 3 or more pics it will spook the deer. Also cover up the red and green led light with tape. I have had this in the field for almost 2 months now and have had no issues just awesome shots of bucks - even sparing -
I live in Michigan and the weather is ruff out there but so far this camera has held up flawlessly. I changed the batteries only once.
